Why would you want a list of our record collection...?
May we also point you in the direction of http://www.popartforsale.com/ as it really is rather grand.
Sounds Like
Road works, gas works, apple ramps, a lamb named Henry, peapods and castles, boxes of sparklers, jolity, you, a thousand bibles burning, David Bowie peeing into a toaster, an ice cream man crying, your 3rd nervous breakdown in as many years, the song the surgeon has playing the background on the video of your sister-in-law’s recent keyhole surgery operation
The begining was just the start of it, when Andy met Paul, and Paul
met him back, one summers evening in 2001 (It was like Woolton Parish Church Garden Fete all over again). Through a mutual
interest in music and self-trepanism, they soon realised that two
men could not make as much of a row as 4 and so collered a passing
bass player and self confessed 'beard-a-holic' named Lee and a
keyboard player called Leon.
The first gig quickly followed, and it was at this gig where a
dark, mysterious stranger christened the band "NEMO". Next to board
the good ship NEMO was Desmond on drums. This line-up remained
stable and NEMO mooched around the honky-tonks and bars of
Newcaste-Under-Lyme and Stoke until tradegy stuck and NEMO lost
their "pee-anna player" to a virulent bout of parenthood. Quick to
step into Leon's place was local "man-about-town" and proliffic
stilt maker Kramer.
Blessed with keen eyes and swift elbows, NEMO were back and gigging and making a row all over the shop, untill yet again, fate's cruel hammer fell squarely at NEMO's door. Desmond left to persue his own career as a sub-aqua merkin salesman (for the more diserning skinny dipper).
Being a drummer (as he was with other local band Fibrestream),
Kramer rose to the challenge and jumped from keyboards to drums,
and thus has remained to this day.
Now'er days NEMO have succomb to the Myspace allure and even Paul has a solo thing going on here, www.myspace.com/porl even though he can no longer spell his own name properly. Although it's not really a solo thing as he is normally in the presence of other people all the time, mostly but not always.
Like a tramp, playing a penny whistle out side the "Pop Idol"
studios after a bottle of Aldi whiskey, NEMO continue ply the Stoke-On-Trent public with Rock n Roll and dodgy pound-shop coloured flashing lights.
And please...don't mention the fish...or there will be violence.
